Resume:

Lincoln-Delaware State Police Detectives have charged a Felton woman and Frederica man in connection with a contrived set up style home invasion that took place early Saturday morning on November 5, 2011.

Delaware State Police Detectives have charged Tiffany L. Huntenburg-19 and Daniel L. Hunter with a total of 12 charges related to Robbery First Degree, Possession of a Firearm During the Commission of a Felony (2 counts), Burglary First Degree, Conspiracy Second Degree, and Criminal Mischief.  Huntenburg was committed to Baylor Women’s Correctional Center on $50,750 Cash Bond and Hunter was committed to Sussex Correctional Institution on $150,000 Cash Bond.

The incident started on Friday, November 4, 2011 at approximately 11:45 p.m. when the 25 year old male victim received a phone call from an acquaintance identified as Tiffany Huntenburg.  Both made plans and agreed for Huntenburg to watch a movie at the victim’s house later that evening. Approximately 25 minutes later, on Saturday, November 5, 2011 at 12:10 a.m., Huntenburg arrived at the victim’s residence located in the 8000 block of Flounder Drive, Lincoln, DE.  When the victim opened the door to let her in, he was greeted by Daniel L. Hunter who was armed with a handgun, with Huntenburg standing behind him.  Hunter forced his way through the door and into the house, pointing the handgun at the victim’s head, demanded his wallet in which the victim complied.  Hunter then threw the victim onto a bed and rifled through his pockets.  During the struggle, the victim attempted to use his cell phone.  Hunter struck the victim in the head with the handgun, taking the cell phone and breaking it.  Hunter then demanded the victim’s “Percocet” prescription medication.  It was determined that Huntenburg had knowledge that the victim possessed the medication and had given this information to Hunter.  Hunter continued to ransack the residence and then he and Huntenburg fled on foot with the victim’s bottle of Percocet prescription medication and wallet that contained an undisclosed amount of cash. The victim received minor injuries as a result of the assault, but declined medical treatment at the scene.  The victim was able to identify both Huntenburg and Hunter as the assailants.

Detectives continued their investigation and on Saturday, November 5, 2011 at approximately 3:00 p.m. were able to locate Hunter at a residence in Frederica, and Huntenburg at a residence in Harrington.  Both were taken into custody without incident.  Detectives continue their investigation into this incident.
